Answer:
That is known as a Vertex
Area of a trapezoid: (top + bottom)/2 x height
Area = (6.5 + 15.1)/2 x 5
Area = 21.6/2 x 5
Area = 10.8 x 5
Area = 54 square inches.
The average speed would be 53 miles per hour, hope this helped, if you need me to explain then here is the way, so all you do is divide 265 by 5 and what I did to help make it faster was split 265 into 250 and 15 so 250 divided by 5 is 50 and 15 divided by 5 is 3 so 50 + 3 = 53!
ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:
y-y=m(x-x)
The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9
Plug it in:
8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2
*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)
Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b
y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)
8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.
Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.
m=-3/2
b=31/2
We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)
SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2
Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!
So I would first find out when they are equal then do one more than that. 21x=18x+45, 3x=45, x=15 so the answer would be 16 jerseys
